Razorlight is a British indie rock band that emerged in the early 2000s, swiftly ascending to prominence with their exuberant blend of post-punk revival and garage rock influences. The band was formed in 2002 by lead singer and rhythm guitarist Johnny Borrell, and their rise to fame was rapid, with their debut album, "Up All Night" (2004), receiving critical acclaim and commercial success. Razorlight's knack for catchy hooks and anthemic choruses was further cemented with their self-titled second album in 2006, which featured hits such as "America" and "Before I Fall to Pieces," both of which contributed to the group's international recognition.

Throughout their career, Razorlight has undergone several lineup changes, with Borrell remaining the constant driving force as frontman. The band's subsequent albums, "Slipway Fires" (2008) and "Olympus Sleeping" (2018), showcased a maturation in their sound, while still retaining the energetic charm that initially captivated their audience. Through their rich discography, punctuated by both electric and acoustic versions of their songs, Razorlight has demonstrated versatility and staying power in the dynamic landscape of rock music. Notable recent works like "You Are Entering The Human Heart" and "Burn, Camden, Burn" are testaments to their evolving artistry and commitment to the storytelling that has always been at the heart of their music.
